Nita: It's Fabricio! No doubt he's going to say the most fiendish and heartless thing you've ever heard! Fabricio: What a lovely day! Nita: Take that back, you fiend!

[lalka-laski]

What, in your opinion, is the most boring sport to watch? None of them particularly interest me but I guess golf interests me the LEAST out of all the common, American sports What are some of your favorite snacks or junk food? Chips and dip is always my go-to. And I'm a fiend for anything cheesy and crunchy: Cheez-its, Cheetos, Goldfish...

Have you ever lied to protect someone? What was it about? Oh yeah. That's what growing up with sisters is all about What is one of the most difficult decisions you’ve been faced with? The decision to stay home or return to college for my Junior Year. I opted to stay home, which was tough at the time, but turned out to be the best choice for a number of reasons. I regret none of it. Who are some of your favorite authors? What genre do they write? Anita Shreve and Taylor Jenkins Reid. They both write semi-romantic, women-centric fiction, but I wouldn't label either of them a romance or chick-lit author.

If there were only 6 things to say about yourself, what would they be? Sensitive, anxious, compassionate, friendly, flighty, fun What is one of the worst things that you never want spilled on your floor? I mean, you name it, I've probably spilled it on my floor at some point How many times in your life have you been stung by something? Where? Only twice actually. Once on the back of my leg and once (just a few weeks ago) on my finger. And a table of guys next to me said I handled it "way too casually" hahaha Did you ever have a pet rock as a kid? Nah If you could invent a new board or card game, what would it be called? I used to make board games as a kid! God, I'd give anything to have even a fraction of that creativity in me still Does your city require children to attend preschool and kindergarten? I don't believe preschool is required but I could be mistaken. What are some of your favorite drinks? (alcoholic or otherwise) Soft: Lemonade, Orange Hi-C, Coffee, English Breakfast Tea Hard: Red ale (specifically Smithwick's), Octoberfest, hard ciders, seltzers How often do you see stray cats roaming around your neighborhood? Never in my current neighborhood, actually Do/Did you want to go to college? Why or why not? I have a BS in English & Creative Writing. College was always an inevitable for me, so it's kind of a shame that I messed up my first few years the way I did. But as I said above, I regret none of it. How old were you when you received your first cell phone? 10th grade... a few months before Christmas, I recited a scripted speech for my parents with reasons why I deserve one. That Christmas morning, as I opened an inconspicuous box, "Under Pressure" by Queen & David Bowie started playing from somewhere in the room. My dad had hidden my cellphone in the tree and set my favorite song as the ringtone! How often do you take naps in the middle of the day? Less often these days, which is a plus for my mental health What is something you do multiple times a day? Spiral What is something that always makes you grumpy? Spotty wi-fi. I can keep my cool in a lot of situations but for some reason I have no patience for that! Is there an issue with someone using something of yours if they ask first? I don’t usually have a problem with that. I grew up the middle child of two sisters so everything was shared and borrowed and swapped. What’s your favorite type of seafood to eat? None of it

As you may have noticed, NeeNee is back in action! Recapping action, that is. I will definitely keep up on my streaming updates posts as well. YouTube posts take longer as that requires digging and confirming of legit subtitles and the legality of the source. Again, you can always drop me a line about a drama or channel that you are aware of and I will most definitely get around to checking it out. I think I’m eventually going to create a few forms to make it easier to submit these requests. We will have to see.

Just for Fun #1

I am entertaining restarting a few other post series I started and have let fall by the wayside [Recommendations, What Came First, The Forgotten, Asian Drama Synopsis Fails, New Discoveries, Dramas and Movies Based on Comics, Total Randomness, Just for Fun, etc.], but we’ll have to see how this goes for me while trying to get back into the swing of recapping. If there is a column/series that you enjoyed, let me know and that will encourage me to continue on with it. You may notice a lot of series posts stopped in 2014…there was a very, very, very sad reason behind this…and this reason is why my blog was not nearly as active as it once was back in its hay day [hey day…hayday…heyday…?].

I will say this to all you readers who find Asian Addicts Anonymous and are new here. This is NeeNee’s baby and my sole endeavor. I’ve had a few contributors here and there (okay, only 3), and they have all vanished leaving behind a handful of posts. Chani-chan always says she will come back. I am hopeful she will, but she’s a part-time professor, plus has a job in retail, so she’s very busy. So, I am the only one working on this site anymore. This means I am not like other sites out there offering different dramas covered by different people. Everything is watched by me, written by me, and I am [sadly] verbose and am never certain my posts do any good to others, but I write them to share the dramas I like with others. Even if you do not like the dramas I choose to recap or my writing style, I do hope you at least appreciate the time and effort recapping takes.

These are the dramas I am recapping currently. There is no simulcasts at the moment (unless you count Lovers in Bloom that is). I can’t do it. It is surprisingly difficult to keep up with what is airing let alone recapping it in a timely manner—especially Korean dramas. Plus, the interwebs is saturated with Korean drama blogs already doing an excellent job in getting recaps of the hottest shows out. I have never wanted to be constrained to a sole country’s dramas. Although, I do tend to recap more Japanese dramas.

Devil Lover

Legal Mavericks

Princess Agents

Unmei ni, Nita Koi

Love at the Aegean Sea

Lovers in Bloom

MARS

Two Women’s Room

Onto the schedule. While on vacation last week, I was a watching and recapping fiend…I have no personal life, I’ve come to terms with that, lol…so I managed to post two recaps a day (I think I wrote an average of 4 recaps a day spanning Thursday through Sunday). Now that I am back to work, that probably won’t happen. My goal is to try to do a single post a day. More if I can, but my entire work day is spent on a computer…so coming home to solely work on the computer again is a bit much some days. Here are the dramas I am covering and they are listed in the order I will be covering them in unless I decide otherwise.

Princess Agents [2017 Chinese Drama – Finished Airing]

Unmei ni, Nita Koi [2016 Japanese Drama]

Devil Lover [2016 Thai Drama]

MARS [2004 Taiwanese Drama]

Legal Mavericks [2017 Hong Kong Drama – Season 1 Finished Airing]

Love at the Aegean Sea [2004 Taiwanese Drama]

Lovers in Bloom [2017 Korean Drama – Currently Airing]

Two Women’s Room [2013-14 Korean Drama]

I am working on Lovers in Bloom episode 2 as we speak, then will come episode 2 of Two Women’s Room. Then I’ll start all over again with Princess Agents. There is a method to my madness. I’m doing this to force myself to not watch ahead and then not follow through on recapping like I’m very prone to do. This is really hard with dramas I enjoy the most (like Legal Mavericks).

I do not believe I will be starting any additional dramas until at least one of these have been completed. I will dust off a drama I need to finish recapping and choose another drama I am interested in recapping after that. I will definitely finish The Holy Pearl; Smile, Donghae; and Zettai Kareshi. I make no promises for the other dramas on my On Hold list. I may even dust off dropped dramas if I feel inclined to. As far as new recapping projects go, if good recaps already exist, I am less likely to start recapping a drama. I do except suggestions and requests, but everything is based on the discretion of my taste and enjoyment of dramas. For the most part, I watch an episode or two of a drama, if I like it and feel interested in possibly doing recaps, I Google the drama name and recap and if none show up, I just might undertake writing up episode by episode recaps.

Smile, Donghae

Holy Pearl
